Finally some tank drops for you

Everyone else had their Tome already lol.....Charity drops and I solo tank 7,8 and probably 6 for next week. (we gave 6 one solo try before learning you could drop stacks)

Wait, what?

Do tell. I want to solo T6

[Taint]

I don't want to start the rumor mill since I have only tried to solo tank him once and HG doesn't avoid the stack. But during phase 2 you can apparently run to the edge during the Floral trap sequence and stacks will fall off before his next cleave. Phase 2 stacks get down to a 6-8 count and the edge buys you enough time.

[Raldo]

Ah, that makes sense. I've noticed the stack debuff counter get very low sometimes, so I could see the extra walk distance being enough to make it drop.

[Shaano]

Oh god it's begun.

[Kirbyprime]

What's the highest stack you can get anyways... I figured might as well keep the stacks if it means not having to move the boss unnecessarily.

8

And it can get ugly at 8. We wiped because spit did 4k damage, auto did 1700 and cleave did 4400 all in a few seconds.

There is no reason to even solo tank him, but something different for a change doesn't hurt either. (or if it allows a group to skip Super slug)

[Raldo]

Hah, the amusing little flavor things that the devs throw in that mostly go unnoticed. There's a little thing that goes on in the NE part of Revenent's Toll (around the daily Alexandrite map quest) that takes a good chunk of an Eorzean day to play out. At some point during the day hours, a Miqo'te Arcanist will walk out of some doors and periodically say "Ruby!? Ru~by!?", "<sniff> <sniff>", and "Where in Nophica's name did that girl go to?" Once night time hits, for an hour or three, you'll find an unnamed, untargetable Carbuncle sitting in some odd places. I've seen it behind one of the NPC stalls, as well as on top of one of the covered wagons.

Neat little touch.

Now I'm going to stand around here and see this whole thing play out...

Somewhere between 5~6AM (I was in a duty, so not exactly sure when), the Carbuncle spawns behind one of the stalls.
6AM, the Arcanist comes out of the doors and starts wandering & looking around
~6:20AM, the Carbuncle disappears (same animation as if you release it) right as the ACN passes by the stall
[...okay, I'm not really sitting here for an hour. As of 2PM Eorzean, the ACN is still milling around, everything below this is what I recall from the last hour when I was only barely paying attention]
~6PM, ACN retreats into building and 'Ruby' spawns on top of the covered wagon next to the summoning bell.
By 9PM, I didn't see the Carby anymore.

[Radec]

I just noticed that last night as well - I'm not sure the timings are always the same though. SS of it happening shortly after 10AM ET

Spoiler: show

Carby hiding in the bottom left.

Wow, they nerfed the hell out of Four Winds. I just took down one of the bosses on my BRD in under 30 seconds.

[Ratatapa]

wut?

[Kaisha]

wut?

2.28 update.

Boss enemies in certain FATEs will have their HP reduced proportional to the number of participants in the previous FATE.

Well needed also since hardly anyone bothered with them outside of atma books due to the time required to even kill them.

Yeah I was just doing this for my last book yesterday, when I critted my fire3, it took like 8% of his life, I was like, wtf?

[Qeomash]

Hopefully this also included that FATE in Eastern Thanalan with the rams that take forever to kill.

[lilbubbles]

Or that snurble, "bair hair day", that spams stoneskin so fast 3 people aren't enough to kill it lol.

There's something about Lou....ugh that fate was torture. Lou had a bilion hp and split 3 times into mini-Lou's each with a billion hp.
